Every drop counts… I know.

It takes me a long time to read books because I read many at the same time

  • Competitive Strategy by Michael E. Porter
  • It’s OK to Feel Things Deeply by Carissa Potter

Random stuff I thought was worth capturing…

I learned to draw late in high school. It didn’t come naturally to me. I had to work really hard at it. Here are two still-life drawings from the way back machine. On the left, trying for realism. On the right, getting weird.

I always liked cubism. I tried that back then too.

Other stuff…

The Skate Book Club is live. We sent out the first issue (it’s an email newsletter). Sign up if you like skateboarding, books, or both.

I should mention this too. On Nov. 12th, I’ll be speaking to strangers. Presented by SDXD, my talk, ‘How NOT to Apply For a Design Job’ is Star Wars themed, and stems from my real-world experience in hiring designers. If you are in the San Diego area, come through.
